Countryman

From pigeon lofts to wild fens, one man’s lifelong connection with the natural world. Best known for his champion racing pigeons, Jim Emerton reveals a more contemplative side in this memoir of wildlife, solitude, and reflection. Growing up in the Lincolnshire Wolds, he watched and hunted wild birds, learning from the land and the characters who roamed it. In Love with the Wild is a lyrical, thoughtful exploration of nature, memory, and the evolving bond between humans and the wild.
